Welcome to A Little Less.

You already know what too much feels like.

It’s not one big thing. It’s the accumulation of every small thing that quietly became yours — the appointments, the meals, the mental load of keeping track of everything for everyone, the pressure to do it all with patience and grace and a clean kitchen.

You’re not failing. You’re just carrying more than one person should have to carry. And the world keeps handing you more — better systems, optimized routines, expert advice on how to do it all a little more efficiently.

Nobody is asking you to put some of it down.

That’s what I do here.

I’m Erin — a former teacher, a mom of two, and someone who spent years believing the answer to feeling overwhelmed was a better plan. It wasn’t. The answer was giving myself permission to stop performing and start trusting that my way of doing life is actually enough.

Every week I share what that looks like in my house. Not the idea of it, the real version. The specific decisions, the things I’ve stopped doing, the moments where I chose myself over the to-do list and everything turned out fine.

If you’ve been waiting for someone to tell you that you can put some of it down, this is that place. 💕

Where to start

If you’re new here, please don’t feel the need to scroll through the archives. Start right here. These are the three posts that best capture what we’re doing here:



I’m so glad you found your way here.

Talk soon,
Erin

One essay a week. 💌 No optimization advice. No one telling you how to do it better. Just an honest look at what doing a little less actually looks like.

For the mom who is done believing she has to do it all—and ready to trust that her way is actually enough.
